FULL APPEARANCE:

Lars rarely if ever works hard to make himself look incredibly formal. So long as he’s unoffensive smelling and presentable for his job, he will usually wear whatever’s cleanest. He doesn’t mind getting dirty, even going out of his way to get dirty if it means entertaining kids, but he still certainly has his limits. His hair is always wavy and sticking out at angles, but he doesn’t see any need to trim it until it gets into his eyes.

He’s a lanky man, as opposed to his stouter and more muscular brothers. Even the younger brothers are more heavier set than him, and that’s perfectly fine. He’s not a fighter and probably never will be. He has no desire to do any more heavylifting than he needs to, and makes no effort to change his physique. His clothes, while always clean, often look a little shabby. Lars, unlike his brothers, learned practical skills from his mother, and learned how to sew his clothes in case his brothers ripped or tore them. As such, his clothes are worn, but still servicable.

PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY:

Lars is the black sheep in his family.

He doesn’t care much for power, despite it being treated as highly desirable in his family. He has no desire to be a leader of any kind, instead focusing on himself and the way he acts around others. Despite his distaste for his family’s adopted creed of ‘Might makes right’, he still very much loves them all, doing his best to keep in contact with them all as best as he can. Even the more cruel and nasty ones, he holds dearly in his heart simply because he is willing to forgive them for their prior transgressions.

He’s laidback and easygoing, happy to help those who need it but certainly not going out of his way to assist if there are others who are around to help. As such, to the untrained eye, he can appear lazy and unmotivated. He does care about many things, but he simply has to pick and choose what he can allow himself to worry about. Turns of having to hide things from his brothers has made him somewhat secretive, and he rarely let others see that he is actually an overly concerned individual who can let his worries and care consume him and depress him. When he does allow himself to care about things, he will work hard to fix problems, solve issues, and basically work himself sick until the issue has been resolved.

He has a great love for children, and is immensely patient with those around him who are his age or younger. Those older than him may see him as disrespectful for being a little too casual with his superiors, but he’s otherwise harmless and does as he’s told. The idea of having to be anyone’s boss is distasteful to him, and he instead works best as a more flexible member of a team. Despite being a bronzerider, he has no real talent for leading, and prefers to let others call the shots. This extends to his views on Intra-wetr politics, as he really could not give less of a Shard who’s in charge so long as they were a bully or a tyrant.

HISTORY
FAMILY: Sustin ( Father ), Mantha ( Mother ), Caleb [33], Stoym[32], Rudi+Runo[30], V'dar [28], Jese[26], Ologoth[25], Franz [23], Jurgen [21], Welk[20], Hans [19] ( Brothers )
BIRTHPLACE: Cothold not too far from High Reaches
HISTORY:

Lars’ childhood was perilous. To him anyway.

He grew up as one of the middle children in a house of twelve brothers. Lars’ was a sensitive child, and often was teased and made fun of by his brothers older and younger. He got no sympathy from his father, who told him he should just toughen up and fight back. But even in his distressed moments, Lars never WANTED to lash out at his brothers. He just wanted them all to get along, for things to be peaceful.

By the time his older brother Caleb was old enough to be Searched, Lars was more adapted at dealing with his annoying and hurtful siblings. He was secretive, often hiding his desires and interests to protect them from his siblings. All he really wanted was to leave this little cothold and just find a place he didnt’ have to feel so guarded. Once he was 15, his prayers were answered. A Searchdragon fro Ista Weyr picked him as having the gumption needed to be a Candidate, and he refused to let the opportunity to leave pass him up.

Thankfully, his father and mother were happy to encourage this, as Caleb was already making waves at Benden and saying hed Impress any day now.

Upon getting to Ista, he settled into Candidate life quite happily. However, the candidatemaster also spoke to him and suggested he get some help with his anxious nature from the Mindhealers on staff. This turned out to be an excellent call, as he found himself more at peace with himself, his brothers and his past after a Turn or two of therapy. From there, his life was typical of a candidate, at least until he was 25. It was then that a Bronze dragonet tripped and stumbled onto him, Impressing to him and making his life all the better.

Weyrlinghood went by with many happy memories and moments of growth. Lars slowly learned to let the past go more and more, and started keeping in contact with his family again. Much had changed since he’d left. Some of his younger brothers had left for Benden and Telgar, respectively, and only a few were left to join them as dragon riders. He kept up this correspondence with them, making sure he would stay in touch properly. Eventually he would graduate and spend several Turns among the Istan Weyr’s ranks. However, he also started to look to the Mainland at this time, wanting to see what was beyond his distant shore… So he transferred to High Reaches, eager to experience new things, meet new people…

However, it was at this time that his father sent him a letter, begging him to nudge a Searchdragon to take Hans out so that he could be rid of his most disappointing son. Of course, as a new transfer, he has little say in the matter, so he wrote back that he would try but no promises. Of course, he did mention to Searchers that he’d connected with that his brothers and himself were from a family of Searched riders, and that almost all of them had impressed to bronzes and browns… Eventually, the dropped hints were picked up on, and Hans was Searched. Lars continues to keep his parents updated on Hans’ condition, but he’s sure only their mother really reads and responds to the letters he sends.

Scabellath



BASICS
NAME: Scabellath
BIRTHDATE Spring 2762
AGE: 6 as of Summer 2768


APPEARANCE
LENGTH:55 ft
HEIGHT:13.5 ft
WINGSPAN:80 ft
COLOR: Bronze
HEX CODE: #a2a74b
FULL APPEARANCE:

Scabellath is a lovely greenish copper-y color, with darker green squares along his body. Three dots adorn his chest, as well as two solid rectangles. His neck and tail are where most of the squares lay, accenting his best features, in his opinion. His face has mask like markings around his muzzle and eyes, making him look more ferocious than he actually is. He holds himself with legs akimbo, often looking like he’s stooping down a little so that he can observe the world a bit more closely.

PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY:

Scabellath is a playful sort who forgets how big he is.

He is a bit clumsy with his limbs, but always does his best not to break things if he can help it. Even now as an adult dragon, he’s always eager to get in other dragon’s personal space. This, combined with his lack of spatial awareness, often got him in trouble with his peers when he inevitably stepped on tails and paws. Thankfully, his rider helps him hold himself a bit more regally, so he’s less prone to accidents. However, even his Rider can’t always help him with his lack of common sense and snarky attitude. He speaks without thinking if he’s distracted or irritated, much to the annoyance of everyone else. But he’s the first to jump to another’s defense, be it during a dragon fight or when he thinks a human is in danger.

To his Rider, Scabellath is a true companion, eager to please and happy to stand alongside. Scabellath works hard to keep his energy and clumsiness in check, if only to make sure his rider doesn’t get in trouble. He genuinely cares about everyone and isn’t afraid to show it, and that goes double for his fellow dragons. No matter how ornery or distant a dragon or person may be, Scabellath isn’t afraid to approach them and try and be as friendly as possible.

Trouble



BASICS
NAME: Trouble
BIRTHDATE Early Summer, 2769
AGE: Less than a turn as of 2769

APPEARANCE
COLOR: Blue
FULL APPEARANCE: Trouble is your average blue, with darker swirling stripes all along his neck and back.He has a nice dark blue swirl along his left haunch, that connects to his wings, which was a uniform dark blue.

PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY:

Trouble can and will live up to his name.

He's not a bad flit, he just is inquisitive, opinionated, and somewhat greedy. He finds things he likes and hoards them, be it gloves or boots or scraps of parchment. He's a smart flit, always watching what others do and mimicking them. This makes him amazing at learning how to do tricks, but terrible for delivering messages. He's so easily distracted, and he may or may not get attached to the letter he was supposed to deliver and not give it up without a fight.

He also has a tendency to challenge and try and fight dragons, whers and flits alike, letting out tiny challenging roars and charging at them to assert dominance.
